Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
2 Corinthians 4:8, “We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;”
The word “perplexed” comes from the Greek word aporeo.
The prefix means “no,” and the root means “way.”
Thus, it is rendered “no way” or “at a loss for a way.”
You have no way.
You have no answers.
Many times God’s sovereign love designs that you have no answer.
You are in front of a wall.
You cannot go over it, around it, or under it.
There is no way that you can penetrate it.
There is no answer.
You just kneel in front of the wall and say, “O Lord Jesus. Hallelujah, I am in Your hands.”
In this kind of death situation – whatever it is–He will revive you.
And on the third day, He will raise you up in resurrection.
This means that God needs a little time to prove that it is not you delivering yourself.
After a few days there in death, you begin to stink.
You begin to realize that there is no ability in you.
But then, seemingly out of nowhere, there is an inner surge, an inner welling up of life.
Then your mind begins to see things differently.
God is sovereign over all.
He has torn and He is going to heal.
He is healing you now.
He has stricken you and He will bandage you up (Hosea 6:1).
God’s sovereign love comes to us in a pattern–death and resurrection.
This cycle is repeated over and over again in our experience.
Just as the Lord Jesus passed through death and resurrection, we follow in His pattern.
